NPS Form 10-900a OMB No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet The Logan Name of Property Douglas County, Nebraska Section 7 Page 1 County and State Located in downtown Omaha, the Logan was constructed in 1918 as an apartment/hotel with commercial space on the lower floors. The flat-roofed, u-shaped building is constructed of a concrete slab and post structural system. A combination of brick, terra cotta and glass sheath the concrete structural skeleton. Because it is situated at the intersection of 18th and Dodge Streets, both the South and East facades formally address the street. Both facades are organized with a distinct base, shaft and capitol. Shortly after construction was completed the city began an extensive road re-grading project that directly affected the Logan and left lasting visual traces. Originally the building accommodated the existing contours of the site, but after removing 10 to 15 feet of earth, the building’s exterior needed to be reconfigured. Photographs indicated that before Dodge Street was re-graded the only southern entrance into the building was located at what is now the second floor.
